Why You Are Not Experiencing the Presence of God

[@marydunkle8162]

I got so tired of going to church and not experiencing the presence of the Lord. I was so hungry for intimacy with the Lord that I started waiting on the Lord. I sat for 2 hours waiting on the Lord focusing on Jesus. Then, I experience the tangible presence of the Lord, which changed me forever. It was this experience and the fear of the Lord that cause me to have a vision of what Christ went through on the cross to purchase me. His love continues to draw me into the secret place. The fear of the Lord keeps me pusuing Jesus as I fear missing the Lord. I have seen Jesus face to face. Nothing is more satisfying than spending time in his presence. I am tired of the religious church but I can't get enough of Jesus crying out to Jesus to change me to be like him. Dying to self daily.

[@Ashley-id2cb]

Please do not try Christianity on yoir own strength. Jesus said, You must be born again. John 3:3-8. "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is spirit." Verses 3:5-6. Born again is regeneration. Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary online. 'Regeneration means; Reproduction, the act of producing anew. In theology, New birth by the grace of God, that change by which the will and natural enmity of man to God and his law are subdued, and a principle of supreme love to God and his law, or holy affections, are implanted in the heart.' Implanted. Humbling isn't it. We cannot do that. So who does God look to? the humble and contrite ones. Psalm 34:18 and Isaiah 57:15. Ask God to send the Holy Spirit to you, Luke 11:13. He will bring your sins to mind. As he does ask Jesus to forgive you. This will be painful, PRIDE HATES IT. When you see your desperate need (Jeremish 17:9) for a Saviour, call out to Jesus to save you. He came to save sinners. Then do as the risen Jesus commanded, be baptized. Matthew 28:18-20, in the water of repentance Mark 1:1-5, Matthew 3:6. Calling on the name of the Lord, Romans 10:9-13. How? As Peter preached Acts 2:21, 38 and as Paul did, Acts 22:16, Acts 19:1-5. Think on Mark 16:16, 2 Peter 3:9, Romans 6:3-11, 1 Corinthians 12:13 and Colossians 2:6-15. When He has regenerated you, you will desire Him. Read His inspired word, the Authorized Version, the King James Bible. The Spirit of truth will lead you into all truth. His word strengthens, washes (as does His powerful blood). His word reads you Hebrews 4:12. Daily bible reading and prayer is essential in building on the foundation which is Christ Jesus. PS. The other apostles were already baptized, they baptized others. John 4:1-2. Read His preserved word, the Authorized Version later called the King James Bible.

[@Jesus123ioasdjfkasjfkjlasdfask]

@@jdnrust1590 Jesus isn't coming back for the harlot church, he is coming back for the bride of Christ. You're right he does help us, and if we truly receive the help we will eventually stop doing what he is helping us with. He isn't coming back for a lukewarm bride. The truth is that just because you are in church that doesn't mean you are in the bride. The ones who are saved are the bride, and the ones who are saved are born again and changed forever. Jesus loves us just the way we are but the loves us too much to keep us that way. If we follow him then we will be changed by doing so. Matthew 16:24 24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

The example of marriage and intimacy with my Father in heaven has brought me to a greater understanding of who He is and the importance of intimacy with Him. It is the intimacy that so many do not seek after that causes such an identity crises and leads to sin.

[@kristenyurek4490]

Please know that as a believer the Holy Spirit always lives within you, whether you "feel" His presence or not. Through the presence of the Holy Spirit, the Father and the Son indwell the believer. I don't believe the Bible calls us to "experience" God, but to "know" Him. We can only know him through His words - the Bible. Read the Word (avoid translations that change and add, like The Message, The Passion, The Living Bible is quite a bit loose with the translation, and The Amplified Bible adds to scripture.) Emotional experiences can be counterfeit, manipulated by Satan - true knowledge of God is only from the Word. The Word is living, powerful, sharp, dividing truth from lies, light from darkness. 💛

I agree with you on why so many have walked away from the faith, but a huge factor is that kids middle school and up are not being taught apologetics so they don’t know how to defend their faith or the Bible when they do get the college.

This word is so timely for me. Chasing after The Most High God should always be our posture. Positional Holiness! Love this word!

[@barbarastewart8066]

I'm praying to stop looking to people (church people) for comfort in time of need of comfort. The whole time I announced I had breast cancer, also announced in church, not one, I mean not one gave me a word of comfort. It was me and Holy Spirit.

[@patrickmba7638]

It is well with you.

[@Jerusalem23]

You were in the wrong church. My church when several people had cancer they prayed with them and for them. Everybody except one was healed.

[@Jerusalem23]

But stay strong and also ask God to lead you to the right church. Read psalms 103 and personalize it for yourself everyday.

[@NancyNeuhart-gu8fg]

So sorry you were not comforted by your family in God. What has happened to the church? We are to bear one another's burdens. Thank God for the Spirit of God who does His job well. Love and prayers to you ❤❤🎉.

Jesus and the Holy Spirit is enough for you. Love people.

Ephesians 5:26-27, the washing of the water of the Word cleanses us and prepares us for Jesus.

[@cloroxmartini7697]

Two times in my life, well, three, I have been in the physical presence of the Lord. All of them were unscripted and I was at my worst each time, but each time I was desperately seeking Him. There have been other times, like right now, that I am desperately seeking Him and it's silence.and I repeat back to the Lord He is real, He has met me before. That's why I hang on and it's getting tougher to hang on. I agree with seeking a purity in this life, not chasing after the things of the flesh because that's death and I want life.

[@MsKris2626]

Amen. For the confirmation. My family saying I am being goody to shoes but I am trying to obey and be holy.

[@foxecarpentress4964]

I would tell them, I’d rather be a goody 2 shoes than to Burn and be tormented in Hell Forever!!! 🔥☠️🔥That’s the Only other alternative……….😫 God’s ultimate plan, is getting evil works out of His Kingdom! I pray they change their minds and join you Sister! 🙏❤️🙏

[@victoria4844]

Pursuing HOLINESS. What an awesome message! Praise God!

[@marshallgarrett1593]

That’s exactly right. I believe that what you were saying is so true. I am a Christian and have been on the way for 63 years and I’ve had my protocol experiences deep down deep down. I had an initial born again experience of knowing Jesus Christ is my saviour and even though I ended into the wilderness and lost my way due to a lot of things that are not with at this point even discussing I could never ever walk away because you can’t walk away from something so transformational you’ll never be the same. You are a change person even though the flash may struggle so you are correct. John God bless you brother from New Zealand praying this is a very real real subject that needs discussing.✝️

Pleeeease pray for my kids with 8 children for a miracle that they won’t divorce!! They pushed God out of their life and things got way worse “HELLO”😢

[@son-of-truth5959]

Sounds like Warfair should be active now. Whatever you bind on earth is bound in heaven. That’s the second heaven where powers and authorities are the real enemy. The devil and his demons are trying to destroy those children and that marriage. They are still your kids take authority Luke 10:19. Go boldly before the thrown of God and declare victory! bind the enemy off of their life and home and relationship in Jesus name. Bind and cast out jezebel and witchcraft off of them and rebuke curses. Tell them to do so to if you can. But this is serious cry out to God and proclaim victory. Use the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. Way maker miracle worker promise keeper that is who he is. I bless you and you family in Jesus name ❤. Speak in tongues and let the spirit do battle with you.

Please go to the website of Rejoice Marriage Ministries in Pompano Beach, FL. Bob and Charlyne Steinkamp have an amazing testimony. My marriage (after 8 years and divorced) was restored because our dear Lord, through the Holy Spirit, taught me about Covenant marriage and "standing in the gap" even before He sent me to Rejoice Ministries where I learned so many Scriptural Principles which I was never taught before....the Biblical Truth about Covenant marriaget is not too popular a subject. You can go on KZbin and pull up Bob and Charlyne's testimony, among others. I was priviledged to know them both (Bob is now deceases). It is all Biblically based, and, of course, our Lord Jesus are Key to everything. There is also a ministry on Covenant marriage preached by Pastor Joseph Webb (deceased now a few years), but he has teachings on KZbin and wrote two books on the marriage Covenant, my favorite being "Divorce and Remarriage, the Trojan Horse within the Church"...CPR Ministries. I had the privilege of speaking with him a few times a few years back. You can also look up Pastor David Pawson from England who also taught the Biblical "Truth" regarding Covenant marriage. God Bless you and your family as you stand in the gap in prayer for your children and grandchildren so the "curse" of divorce hets diverted and does not become a part of your family tree. God Bless you. Numbers 6:24-26

By far this is the best presentation I’ve heard of how we can achieve Holiness. His comparisons and examples are spot on. It certainly puts things into perspective.

This is my favourite most convicting and liberating sermon ive watched to date. Ive watched this sermon 5 times today!!!

[@MANIPULATSIOON]

Have been sinned all my life and it have holded me down long as i remembered anything young as 3y old and now 33y old. I cannot do it without Lord Jesus. It have been 4th day without it and first day of fast. I need help Jesus!🙏 Deliver me and fill me with holy spirit Jesus Christ!

[@judyswiderski2682]

Jesus said, You must be born again. John 3:3-8. "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of Spirit is spirit." Verses 3:5-6. Born again is regeneration. Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary online. 'Regeneration means; Reproduction, the act of producing anew. In theology, New birth by the grace of God, that change by which the will and natural enmity of man to God and his law are subdued, and a principle of supreme love to God and his law, or holy affections, are implanted in the heart.' Implanted. Humbling isn't it. We cannot do that. So who does God look to? the humble and contrite ones. Psalm 34:18 and Isaiah 57:15. Ask God to send the Holy Spirit to you, Luke 11:13. He will bring your sins to mind. As he does ask Jesus to forgive you. This will be painful, PRIDE HATES IT. When you see your desperate need (Jeremish 17:9) for a Saviour, call out to Jesus to save you. He came to save sinners. Then do as the risen Jesus commanded, be baptized. Matthew 28:18-20, in the water of repentance Mark 1:1-5, Matthew 3:6. Calling on the name of the Lord, Romans 10:9-13. How? As Peter preached Acts 2:21, 38 and as Paul did, Acts 22:16, Acts 19:1-5. Think on Mark 16:16, 2 Peter 3:9, Romans 6:3-11, 1 Corinthians 12:13 and Colossians 2:6-15. When He has regenerated you, you will desire Him. Read His inspired word, the Authorized Version, the King James Bible. The Spirit of truth will lead you into all truth. His word strengthens, washes (as does His powerful blood). His word reads you Hebrews 4:12. Daily bible reading and prayer is essential in building on the foundation which is Christ Jesus. PS. The other apostles were already baptized, they baptized others. John 4:1-2. Read His preserved word, the Authorized Version later called the King James Bible.

[@JeffCulverMusic]

I’ve hated injustice all my life. To me, to make the sinful choice is to choose to be unjust, to practice injustice. So when confronted with temptation or the opportunity to make a sinful choice, to my way of thinking it has been a choice to practice either justice or injustice. Choosing justice has been the end, the goal for me. John Bevere’s message really helped clarify, and bring into focus for me, the greater goal, which is the cry of my heart, to see God. So choosing justice is not the end in itself, for as an end, it is so easy to get offended when others do not practice justice, particularly those who SHOULD choose justice. While choosing justice is always the right decision, it is not the end unto itself, rather, it is part of the process of the great goal of my life, seeing God. This message has helped me in this way. Viewing justice (holiness) in this manner helps me to put down the “pointing of the finger” (Isa. 58) and focus on seeing God as my goal.

[@cynthiastillman8831]

Pastor John, You are a wonderful husband, and teacher of GOD. I really enjoy hearing you preach the WORD OF GOD. I am a new comer to your channel , and I have only been saved for four years. I am trying to hear GOD'S VOICE as I pray. I have not heard the HOLY SPIRIT yet. It scares me, but I was told not to force it. So hopefully he will one day. Please pray for me if you have the time. GOD BLESS YOU AND LISA and your children.🕊️🕊️👑🙏

[@laurakosch]

Help. I have been seeking Gods presence since I was in my late 20s. It has been my greatest desire - I have prayed for it. I am even today daily seeking Him in His word in the morning. Living in obedience, pursuing holiness… I examine my life… I want all known sin and pride out. I beg and cry to God - please let me experience You. For years I questioned my salvation - how could it be that God passed me by, never stirring my soul. I sought help in tears from pastors. I am 55. I am still starving for this experience that others speak of. These kinds of sermons make me long for His presence and wondering why I am left hungry. I’ve tried to be content - just to enjoy the Bible and Christian fellowship. 😢 help?
